  • Just finished Society of the Snow (2023), based on the true story of the 1973 Andes plane crash and its survivors. Unflinching, tense, and utterly heartbreaking, with strong and believable performances from the cast (I’m surprised to learn many of t…
  • My main takeaway from seeing Conclave last week is that Sergio Castellitto (Cardinal Tedesco) would be a good pick to play an old-school grandiose megalomaniac type of villain.
  • Last film I watched (and last of 2024) was The Narrow Margin (1952), directed by Richard Fleischer (only my second of his works I've seen, after Fantastic Voyage). Packs so much noir goodness into a mere 71-minute runtime, its storytelling effici…

  • Schindler's List is, regrettably one of the few Spielberg films I have yet to watch (1941, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, Always, and Hook being the others). I tend to rewatch Jaws at least once a year; don't think I need to say how I feel …

  • To name just two cinematographers I'd be up for seeing tackle a Bond film and who I think have it in them to deliver quality images, Seamus McGarvey and Chung Chung-hoon. Charlotte Bruus Christensen is a very good shout, even if I've only seen on…
  • Started re-reading Thunderball on Monday, after finishing my re-read of Doctor No over the weekend.

  • For Your Eyes Only. First real read (first time I picked it up, I finished "From A View to a Kill", then put it down expecting I could pick it back up later...4 years later, I have!). Currently almost halfway through "Risico".

  • Monkey Business (1932). My first time watching the Marx Brothers, and what a time it was! Credit to the non-Marx cast members for being such wonderful straightmen (and straightwomen); it's a tough job to pull off, especially when playing oppos…
  • mtm wrote: » Here’s one related possible misconception: that Q is short for Quartermaster. Most fans know that, but when is that actually established? It’s kind of official since Skyfall I think where M calls him Quartermaster, but before then was…
  • Mario Bava's A Bay of Blood (1971). Even 53 years later, the violence and death scenes still boast the power to shock; no wonder it's been aped and ripped off by so many slashers since then (one particular kill in this film will be very familiar to …
